The fresh Coronavirus infections in the United States have been falling steadily over the past few weeks. The count of vaccination numbers has also increased in America. A major share of beneficiaries in the nation has been vaccinated with the anti-Covid vaccine so far.

Citing the same reason, not less than 12 states in the United States officially eased the pandemic restrictions. The count of passengers traveling on air has also increased rapidly. These developments are worrying the health experts.

The experts are expressing their concerns over states reopening and easing the restrictions. They warned that these early steps would lead to another Coronavirus wave in the nation.

The experts are particularly questioning the move to ease the restrictions in Florida state, where the B.1.1.7 variant, a highly contagious variant of the pandemic is spreading.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said, people enjoying festivals and rushing towards the beach is quite scary, and taking appropriate measures is the need of the hour.

Given the spread of various variants in the nation, the experts are in the opinion that B.1.1.7 variant is likely to get dominant in the US and batted for the strict imposition of rules like wearing facemask and maintaining physical distancing.
